We recently upgraded from 8.3 to 8.4 and have seen a performance
degredation which we are trying to explain and I have been asked to
get a second opinion on the cost of going from LATIN1 to UTF8
(Collation and CType) where the encoding remained SQL_ASCII..

Does anybody have experience on the cost, if any, of making this change?

Pg 8.3:
Encoding: SQL_ASCII
LC_COLLATE: en_US
LC_CTYPE: en_US

Pg 8.4:
Encoding: SQL_ASCII
Collation: en_US.UTF-8
Ctype: en_US.UTF-8
